The most arrogant in history

Ye Kun smiled and said, "Since you have nothing to do, could you please introduce the situation of Chang Gung New City?"

Bao Sheng nodded: "Changgeng New City now has more than 70,000 residents, including children, and more than 20,000 foreign women, all of whom are married to Han people as concubines. These people are relatively young and strong.

The urban area covers an area of ​​5,000 mu, and a royal palace is specially set up, waiting for the emperor or prince to come and preside over the overall situation. The urban roads are all hardened and the greening is also very good. They are all built with reference to the Honghe New City in Jiaozuo...

We plan to build two castles with Chang Gung New Town as the center and then extend to the north to complement each other."

Ye Kun nodded slightly: "Our immigrants have only been here for a few years, so we have to be wary of attacks from the local natives, so the city must be strong and the garrison work must be perfect."

A large number of new cities were also built in the nine provinces of China, but they had no city walls or moats.

But the situation in the Oil Peninsula is different.

There are still a large number of indigenous people and there is a possibility of war.

Therefore, the new cities here have strong walls and perfect defenses.

Bao Sheng nodded: "Outside the city, we have garrison camps and small bunkers to ensure that nothing goes wrong. In addition, the several small kingdoms here have been frightened and basically have no courage to launch any attack on us."

We set out in the morning and arrived at Chang Gung New City at dusk.

Soldiers and civilians in and outside the city lined the streets to welcome him: "Long live the emperor!"

Everyone knows that the emperor's arrival will definitely bring great development and opportunities here, and will improve everyone's lives.

Ye Kun waved his hand and said, "Long live fellow compatriots, long live the sons and daughters of China!"

There were also some people here who knew Ye Kun, and they all came forward to greet him.

Ye Kun smiled and said, "Everyone, I am tired today and cannot chat with you for long. Let's go to the palace tomorrow and have a good chat."

Tan Jingang and Lu Qiangguo, guarding the emperor on both sides, protected Ye Kun and others and went straight to the palace.

The palace here is well built.

It is only slightly smaller than the imperial palace in Zhuo County.

Ye Kun looked at the palace and complained to Bao Sheng: "Bao Sheng, this palace is a gift from your heart, but it is too wasteful. We came to the Oil Peninsula to do things, not to enjoy ourselves."

Bao Sheng smiled and said, "Your Majesty, I am worried that you will not be able to adapt to the local climate, so I dare not be careless in the construction of the palace. We must ensure that it is clean and hygienic, and that there are ventilation and cooling facilities. You can stay here first, and if there is anything wrong, I will slowly make corrections."

Ye Kun nodded and arranged for everyone to stay.

The next day, Ye Kun met with some old acquaintances and listened to the overall work report.

After resting for two days, Ye Kun began to plan his work.

At the first meeting between the monarch and his subjects, Ye Kun said: “According to your report, there are still more than a dozen tribes, large and small, in the Oil Peninsula, and some of them have a large population.

Now, we are going to send envoys to summon those tribal leaders to Changgeng New City to have a talk with them.

I will make them submit to China and incorporate them into China. I will make them pay taxes and perform labor service. If they refuse to obey, I will have to conquer them by force.”

Bao Sheng said: "Most of the tribes on the Oil Peninsula are in contact with us. We just need to send someone to notify them."

Ye Kun nodded: "Arrange this matter quickly, stabilize the overall situation of the Oil Peninsula first, and form effective management. Then, we can plan large-scale construction."

Everyone obeyed.

Ye Kun also arranged scientific research and industrial production work: "Our scientific and technological personnel must go deep into oil wells, refineries, and port terminals to conduct in-depth research, and then start planning and designing new machinery to improve productivity.

We need to conduct in-depth research on the extraction, refining, storage, and transportation of oil, and find ways to improve efficiency and ensure safety."

Next, Ye Kun gave instructions and requirements on medical care, education, immigration management and other aspects.

Finally, let’s talk about agricultural production.

Ye Kun said: "If we, the descendants of China, want to thrive in the Oil Peninsula, we must solve the problem of food self-sufficiency. Although there is no shortage of food now, it is hard to say what will happen in the future.

The population will increase in the future, and we cannot rely entirely on external support. Therefore, we need to have a large amount of arable land and start agricultural production in accordance with the local climate and conditions. "

The agricultural experts who arrived earlier introduced the specific situation to Ye Kun.

Rice isn't growing very well here.

But corn and potatoes are okay.

Ye Kun nodded: "We will plant whatever is suitable. Considering the transportation problem, we should also pay attention to the rubber industry here. In this way, we can have our own rubber and don't have to transport it from Tianzhu, which can save a lot of money."

Ye Kun also gave instructions on prospecting and mining.

After two days of meetings, Ye Kun also inspected the health care and education conditions in Chang Gung New City.

Ye Kun said to Bao Sheng: "I plan to build a petroleum industry university here to train reserve talents."

Bao Sheng pondered and said, "But our population is too small. Even if we set up a university, I'm afraid there won't be many students."

Ye Kun smiled and said, "This is a global university, not a university within the Oil Peninsula. Our enrollment scope is global. Young people from Jiaozhi and Tianzhu can come here to study, and even students from the nine states of China can come here to study."

There are fewer people now, but in three to five years, things will be different.

Large-scale outward immigration is still continuing, and the intensity is increasing!

Bao Sheng nodded: "I'm afraid we'll have to wait a little longer to build a university. The more than 40,000 people the emperor brought with him this time have not yet been fully settled."

Ye Kun smiled and said, "Then let's wait a little longer, but we need to make plans and preparations first."

Of the more than 40,000 people brought this time, more than half were soldiers and technical personnel.

These people are all supported by the court and are easy to arrange.

But there are also more than 10,000 people who immigrated spontaneously.

These people need to be arranged and their livelihood problems solved.

Ye Kun and Bao Sheng discussed and arranged for these people to work in the port and Chang Gung New City. Those with skills would work as craftsmen, while those without skills would work as laborers.

Ye Kun gave resettlement funds to every family.

There are also various production tools, clothes and daily necessities, which can ensure everyone has a worry-free life for three to five months.

After three to five months, immigrant families will be able to integrate into the local society and become self-reliant.

Bao Sheng has opened up seven or eight small farms here.

Ye Kun ordered that all these small farms be handed over to spontaneous immigrants.

Let the garrison look for suitable land, start reclaiming wasteland, build new farms, and wait for the next batch of immigrants.

There isn't much arable land on the Oil Peninsula, but it's not completely nonexistent.

If we just develop some areas with good water and soil conditions, it will definitely not be a problem to feed a million people.

Because of the harsh conditions, the soldiers responsible for reclaiming the wasteland inevitably had some complaints.

In order to cheer everyone up, Ye Kun personally went to each farm, held a meeting to reclaim wasteland, and had discussions with everyone.
